@Peter KimMan, that is painful.  

The partner also claimed to have broken her knee cap falling in the driveway rolling the trash container up from the street; when I commented it must be pretty painful walking around on it as I watched her do so she said she had a "high pain threshold".Sometimes it's just better to either take these complaints with a grain of salt (so to speak) or charge the tenants for these nonsense service calls.Gail

What is your biggest pain point?

Very painful but doable (have to borrow from a HELOC)...So cash on cash is: around 7.3%It pretty much takes me out of the market for a couple years to recoup the cash invested (If I horde money like Scrooge).

I use 5 days and I have a friend using 1 day.Second, the late fee is too small and easily ignored - - change it to 10% of the rents or $100 - - make it painful and they WILL remember to pay on time.Changes to your lease can not become effective until it is renewed and you give Notice of Change 60 prior to the renewal date.

some of them are on the bp market place and they are all on cl, I have done some locally and I have title companies for each one I call and get that going and make sure they will work with a wholesaler before I contract the deal just seems like tracking buyers down in each state is becoming a pain lol

Sure, they can be a pain in the a$$ sometimes but it could be a clear indication of a bad deal...  

I think its a good growing pain and you'll be much more adept at pricing fixtures, jobs, etc. when you DO hire it out.

Separating water could be a major pain and expense as you would need to add a lot of meters, they may have to dig a lot depending on how the main is coming in, etc.If splitting is going to be a lot or not possible, one thing you could do is RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System).

I am dealing with Fannie Mae and its a pain the A** to get them to do anything.
